With regard to Maundy Thursday, did the Lord's supper take place during the night time of the first half of Thursday or during the daytime of the second half of Thursday?

If it happened on Thursday, it would have been evening. However there is reason to believe that the Last Supper may have taken place on Tuesday, since that is when, according to the solar calendar that the Essenes followed, the Passover would have been celebrated. The Sanhedrin kept to a lunar calendar.

There is no reason to believe anything other than exactly what all 4 gospels and Paul in the First Epistle to the Corinthians say that the Last Supper happened "On the night he was betrayed" i.e. Thursday

Evening of Thursday ... "on the night He was betrayed"/"the day before He was to suffer"
